AU sump won't fit and that means that the Timing Case won't fit either. I have seen it done. You have to change the timing cover to make it fit.

Changing a main cap would mean line honing the main tunnel. change the bolts and massage the sump with a hammer |

just buy a complete engine.
buying a block and changing over your internals is guaranteed to end in heart ache. |
